This was a good budget option for our 8 day trip. Though it is located at a bit of distance from the usual tourist hotspots, it was very easy to get around using GrabTaxi (did not spend more than 80-100 Baht to get to/from Chinatown/Banglamphu/Silom). We usually took a taxi to Sathorn Pier, and then went by boat or BTS or walk to the next destination. The "river view" is a bit of a stretch, and there isn't much of a balcony, but the room was very comfortable, and the Netflix connection was a welcome break in between daily adventures :) I would recommend this listing if you are looking for a quiet and economical spot away from the hustle bustle of the city!
